Cory had cooked a hearty meal, hoping to lift everyone's spirits after the recent attack on Hunter. She had made a stew with meat she had hunted herself, and as Hunter ate, the wild girl seemed to relax and regain some of her energy. Ian, meanwhile, was experiencing another bout of contractions, and Cory did her best to make him as comfortable as possible, fluffing up pillows and bringing him a glass of water.

As they ate and tended to Ian, the three of them talked about their dreams and hopes for the future, despite the challenges they faced. Hunter shared her desire to find her family and protect them, while Cory confided in them about her ambition to become a doctor one day. Ian spoke about his love for music and his plans to continue pursuing his career while also raising his child.

Despite their vastly different backgrounds and experiences, they found common ground in their shared determination to overcome their obstacles and support each other along the way. As the night wore on, they settled in together, finding comfort in each other's company.

The future was uncertain, but they were a team, and they knew they could face anything as long as they had each other.
